It smokes a little on start up but if I drive on boost (doesn't have to be hard boost) then it can vary from a little smoke with a smell of oil to a full on james bond style smoke screen!
Rocker cover gaskets? Can look like it comes from turbo area sometimes if its the drivers side one that has gone.

I have no idea pal, I've only had the car 2 weeks. I'm hoping that it's nothing serious as I'm at the end of my tether with it at the moment, I'm beginning to wish I'd bought an evo!

How bad is it smoking? Plumes of smoke? What's the mileage?
The smoke can vary from a small plume to a full on James bond style smoke screen, the mileage has just gone 78k but I'm not sure how much of that is in km

Stick your head in the engine bay and look down the side where the rocker covers are (things spark plugs go into). If there is any oil on on the outside of the rocker cover it's most likely a leaking rocker cover seal (common thing to happen on scoobs) and can cause a lot of smoke or sometimes a little depending on how much has leaked and burnt off.
Also, what colour is the smoke?
I'd pop it round to somewhere like Pole Position to have a gander at it.

Always from the exhaust, pole position have said that there is no oil on the engine which leads me to believe that there is either an oil seal or turbo issues.
I was out with Andy for a short while this morning and it didn't smoke but I've driven to Birmingham airport and back gently and it's given out smoke a few times
I Ay bein funny but I don't care we're u had the car from and how good there surpose to be. U have been ripped. Taking the exhaust off the car and putting a standard one on before u pik it up. Etc BBQ tomoz for me some nice kebabs

Ignore my post about rocker cover gaskets, was under the impression it was coming from the engine bay.
Get it checked out asap as someone else mentioned, hopefully nothing too serious.

I'm not happy about the situation mate trust me, the back box looks like it is a hayward and scott one but the centre section looks to be standard.
I'm trying to be very careful on how I word things so as not to upset anyone unnecessarily, to make matters worse it seems that api don't work saturdays which is the only day I really get where I can get there to get the car looked at being as I work Monday to Friday
, i just want to say thank you to B4D HK for making me feel welcome and inviting to join all of the WMI groups, i look forward to meeting you all and the upcoming meets and tunnel run
